Monkey Grass: I have a minor rant on the discussion of Liriope (pronounced like calliope) Muscari. It has the common name as a grass, but it is in the Lilly family! This might just be a sickness, but calling a lilly, a common grass, hurts my feelings. Here is the rule of thumb for "grass" classification and their cousins: "Sedges have edges (like papyrus), rushes are round, grasses are hollow from the top to the ground (like bamboo). So, your Monkey Grass is really an elegant Lilly. I love it too, but it is not grass. Best, Liz

You need to show your marvelous monkey grass tables to Eddie, and if you don't, I will take that monkey off your back and show them to him myself.He would be so charmed to know that his efforts are rubbing off and causing each of us to go bananas.I think I need some monkey business in my life.pve

About

I'm a stay at home mom with too many hobbies. I used to blog (monkeygrasshill.blgospot.com) about my DIY projects around the house and in the garden in our home right outside of Washington, DC. In the summer of 2013 my husband, son and I moved to London.
While things are definitely different on this side of the pond, I'm the same girl in a different city now.
Still hoarding house plants and tableware. Searching for treasures and entertaining whenever possible.
